The Show Must Go On

CFF-15 certification
MAIN FEATURES
Director: Nevio Marasovic.
Croatia, 2010. 80 mins. Croatian with English subtitles.
During a Big Brother style reality show set in the near future, a war starts and escalates towards nuclear confrontation, but the producer will do anything to hide it from the contestants. As the war escalates, the show becomes a kind of escape for the general population who enjoy watching the pointless antics of the housemates. With increasing ratings, how can the TV channel bosses protect their investment? A very smart film, well produced and unsettling, which raises some fundamental questions about the nature of TV, the role of mass entertainment and the value of truth. If you were in the house would you want to know what's really going on in the outside world?
